10 cats looking for a home

Ramona of Feline Friends says: “Milly is a beautiful 18-month-old female cat. Milly was rescued from a warehouse with her four one-week-old kittens. At first, Milly did not trust humans to help her. Within a few weeks however, she realised that human’s weren’t that bad and began looking for more human contact. By the time her kittens were three weeks old, she was happy for them to be handled and she would look for affection too. All of her kittens were homed by the time they were 10 weeks old and now it’s Milly’s turn to find a loving home. Milly has learned how to play and loves running around chasing toy mice and she has been known to take her toys with her to bed. Milly is affectionate and loves to be stroked, though she has not got used to being picked up yet. She can get very excited when being petted so may not be suitable for young children. Milly has had her vaccinations, is micro-chipped and has been sterilised. She is fully litter trained and mainly eats dry food. She does have days where she eats wet food so normally I offer her wet food a couple of times a week.”

Ramona of Feline Friends says: “Blake and Emir are two sweet little boys (born in March 2011). Both kittens are tabby with white, grey and apricot colouring. They were found on Al Wasl Road at one week old. They are very loving and fun to have around. Both are very happy playing together and their favourite games are hide and seek and chasing the plastic bag. They keep each other occupied but both love company, being cuddled and sleeping on your lap. Both cats eat well and Emir with the pink nose is a little greedy but Blake (brown nose) makes sure he gets his fair share. They are both fully litter-trained. They need to be adopted together and would be fine with children of all ages and other pets. They would be suited to a house or apartment. They have had their vaccinations and have been micro-chipped, neutered and de-wormed.”

Ramona of Feline Friends says: “Arnie and Marmite are brother and sister and can best be described as delightful! Marmite is the more adventurous one ¬– she is definitely the curious cat, always looking into cupboards and wanting to know what you are up to. Once she has satisfied her curiosity, she flops on her back for a tummy scratch. Arnie takes things at his own pace. He tends to let Marmite take the lead, but once he is happy and settled in his surroundings, his personality comes out. He loves nothing better than a chin rub and being allowed to play with running tap water. These cats are happy in one another’s company and so would be fine to leave alone during the working day and then will come for cuddles when their owner is back home. Indoor cats (suitable for villa or apartment), they are looking for a family to call their own. Although I am not sure if they have lived with children, they are very gentle and loving cats.”

Ramona of Feline Friends says: “Moppy was born in March 2009. Why such a strange name? When she was a kitten, she was found with a badly broken leg and bad burns, which she may have received from being trapped in a car engine, so she was taken to the vet by Feline Friends and nursed back to help. But she was so scared that she hid in a mop bucket for a week before she realised people wanted to give her love. Now she is very relaxed and affectionate when she gets to know you, but still very nervous of strangers. Very sweet and talkative, not much of a lap cat but she will sit right up next to you. She likes some cat toys, but will play with anything, even sweet wrappers! She’s not very active, but has bursts of energy every so often. Generally, she likes to sit and sleep or twirl around your ankles. Sometimes she chases flies which is quite funny as she isn’t the most graceful of cats. She is an indoor-only cat, good with older children, but would probably hide from younger ones. She has had all her shots and has been micro-chipped and sterilised.”Click here to enquire about adopting Moppy.

Ramona of Feline Friends says: “Marion is an inquisitive, quiet-natured young female (born October 2009). She loves to play – she specially enjoys jumping up to light reflections on the wall – but also enjoys relaxed downtime sunbathing, preferably next to or on your lap. Marion is happy being the only cat in the house and if she is looking for affection, she will let you know. She loves being petted and purrs like a tractor when you do, however, this should be on her own terms. She doesn't like being picked up, but she will let you if she trusts you enough. Marion is a shy lady at first, but with a gentle approach, she will come to love and care for everyone in your household. Even though she might not get on well with other cats, she is fine around children. Another nice thing about this pretty lady is that she is very clean: she loves grooming herself and her litter tray is very tidy. She is up to date with all her shots, sterilize and micro-chipped.”

Ramona of Feline Friends says: “Clara is a stunning young lady. She appeared on the street, where she lived under cars for about six weeks before she was picked up. She was scared and thin when she came into foster care, but has now put on weight and has the most beautiful fur, with white and silver markings – almost chinchilla-like. She also has the most beautiful yellow eyes. She's a gentle soul, a little scared of strangers, but happy to be stroked and climbs on knees for cuddles when she gets to know you. She lives happily with another foster cat. She's been micro-chipped, spayed and has had her first vaccinations.”Click here to enquire about adopting Clara.

Ramona of Feline Friends says: “Jemima is a calico female, born beginning of June 2010, looking for a quiet loving home. She has a sweet nature and loves playing on her scratching post and with mice and other things. She is a bit nervous because she has been treated badly in the past so she loves playing hide and seek! But once she knows you won't hurt her, she will sleep in her arms and purr away. The vet made a mistake with her ear and cut most of it off, but it makes her look even cuter! She likes other cats and kittens as they help her be more confident. She has been spayed, micro-chipped, de-wormed and vaccinated.”

Ramona of Feline Friends says: “Andre is a very affectionate cat who loves and needs lots of attention, though he is not very fond of being held. He loves to tell you about his day when you come home and in the morning loves to tell you what he's going to do that day. He would do well in a household with no children (as quick movements tend to frighten him). He would probably be happy with other cats, but no other types of pets. He was born the beginning of February 2010 and is micro-chipped and up-to-date with all his shots.”

Ramona of Feline Friends says: “Henry came to us the beginning of December. He was shy, with matted fur and undernourished. He has now flourished and his best friend is his brush – you will tire before he will. He has so much affection to give to someone who will give him the same back. I don’t think he has ever had toys before as at the moment he does not know what to do with them. It has been a pleasure to watch this fantastic cat get his confidence back and trust the human race.”

Ramona of Feline Friends says: “Kiri is a beautiful long-haired tortoiseshell female, born in May 2010. She was spotted on the street being attacked by other cats several times, but was too nervous to be caught and taken to a vet. One day, however, she was approached by a Feline Friends volunteer, and gave herself up. She spent the rest of the evening purring on a knee, having eaten a large meal. She was checked by a vet and pronounced healthy – but very underweight. Over the next weeks, Kiri blossomed, and now, not only is she beautiful to look at, she is also a very friendly cat who enjoys being stroked and spending time in human company. She's inquisitive and likes to spend time in a garden, as well as time indoors, so this lovely girl would need to be homed in a villa. She has had her vaccinations and is spayed.”
